The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”

22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

The Mayo Clinic published this article titled, Forgiveness: Letting Go of Grudges and Bitterness.  They list the following benefits of Forgiveness.

Letting go of grudges and bitterness can make way for compassion, kindness and peace. Forgiveness can lead to:

  • Healthier relationships
  • Greater spiritual and psychological well-being
  • Less anxiety, stress and hostility
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Fewer symptoms of depression
  • Lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse

Forgiveness does not excuse the hurt or take away the responsibility.  It does not change the past but it changes YOU.  Without forgiveness you cannot move on to Peace, JOY and Love.

Matthew 6:14

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Everyone talks about happiness and the pursuit of happiness. 

Circumstances can make you happy. 

But JOY is better than happiness because it isn't dependent on circumstances.  

JOY comes from The LORD. 

It is one of the Fruits of The Spirit. 

Joy can be recognized even in strangers!  Have you ever seen someone and said "WOW, they are always happy no matter how bad things get"? 


                  got joy?
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

FEAR NOT, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you will not be burned, and the flame will not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.    Isaiah 43:1-3
